Summer Springboard
Middle School Medicine
Course Overview
This program provides middle school students interested in pursuing medicine with real hands-on experience where they can build a set of medical skills at an early age.
Imagine being able to set a splint, stop a bleed, and perform CPR as a middle school student! Students will learn medical techniques through age-appropriate simulations and guided lessons. In addition, they’ll work with small groups to research a patient’s history and symptoms, create a diagnosis based on findings, and develop a treatment plan.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Outcome #1

Collaborate in small teams to investigate patient history, symptoms, formulate diagnoses, and design treatment plans.
Outcome #3
Engage with medical professionals to gain insights into emergency medicine environments and real-world clinical practices.
Outcome #4
